fastflix 3.0.1

Easy to use video encoder GUI

FastFlix

FastFlix is a simple and friendly GUI for encoding videos.

It needs FFmpeg (version 4.3 or greater) under the hood for the heavy lifting, and can work with a variety of encoders.

Encoders

FastFlix supports the following encoders when their required libraries are found in FFmpeg:

• HEVC (libx265)    
• AVC (libx264)       
• AV1 (librav1e)       
• AV1 (libaom-av1)  
• AV1 (libsvtav1)      
• VP9 (libvpx)          
• GIF (gif)                

Most builds do not have all these encoders available by default and may require custom compiling FFmpeg for a specific encoder.

• Window FFmpeg (and more) auto builder
• Windows cross compile FFmpeg (build on linux)
• FFmpeg compilation guide
